Introduction to the cuisine of Bhutan

It is said that Tibet is the land of paradise, then when you come to Bhutan, you will understand what real paradise is.

Because of the special geographical environment, people like to drink butter tea whether in Tibet or Bhutan. Ghee tea is made of ghee and strong tea. The taste is salty. When making it, put ghee into a special bucket first, then add some salt, and then pour the boiled strong tea juice into the ghee, and repeat. Stir until the ghee and the tea juice are integrated and creamy, and the ghee tea is ready.
